1. How much will it cost to attend UC Merced?

As an international undergraduate student, you will be required to register full-time (a minimum of 12 credits each semester). You must pay out-of-state tuition, which is higher than the amount paid by California residents, and you cannot declare residency. Check the UC Merced Registrar’s website or the Office of International Affairs website for a cost breakdown.
